Beautiful landscape in Sedona illustrates why spring and fall offer the best time to visit Sedona

When You Should Visit Red Rock Country?

Emily Wachsman January 11, 2024 Comments Off

Many guests ask us when is the best time to visit Sedona, and the simple answer is whenever you can get here. There’s truly no “bad” time to visit Sedona, as it’s a pretty wonderful destination year-round. Though it does get hot in the summer, Sedona’s higher elevation keeps us cooler than cities like Phoenix, for example. In winter, you’ll find cool temperatures (and even sometimes snow), but there are still plenty of reasons to visit then (no crowds!).

Even though we’d never discourage you from visiting Sedona, it’s undeniable that the best time to visit Sedona is in the spring or fall. Both seasons are busier but full of color, and the temperatures are mild and perfect for outdoor adventures like hiking and biking. Spring brings with it wonderful wildflower blooms and by October and November, Sedona is bursting with fall color which makes for a lovely contrast with the already-striking red rocks.

Finding the best time to visit Sedona also depends on what you’d like to do once you’re here. Whatever it is you decide on, though, make sure to include reservations at our #1-rated Sedona Bed and Breakfast. Book your room today! Continue reading
